There are many options for building a great home theater display.
You've got your LED TVs, Plasmas, old-school CRTS and rear-projection
displays. But none of these have quite the size-scaling flexibility of a
good old home theater projector. Unfortunately, issues such as
brightness, black levels and the "rainbow effect" have plagued
projectors and made them appear inferior against newer technologies.
Now, with the Epson 8350, the normal drawbacks associated with
projectors are swept away and make it, once again, a viable option for
any home theater.
The Epson 8350 is one of the cheapest 1080p-capable projectors on the market, but the price does not excessively detract from its quality and feature set. At 2000 lumens, the brightness is extreme and can actually be used outside of a dark room effectively. Image quality truly shines in a dark room, however, with colors vibrant and accurately reproduced. An exception is skin tones, which are a little too saturated, but this can be remedied with some careful adjustment of settings. Blacks are also a little weaker, appearing more dark grey than anything else, but it is passable.
Because this projector uses LCD technology, like common projectors used for presentations, it does not have the "rainbow effect" produced by DLP-based devices. Unfortunately, this means it also lacks the 3D support that many current DLP-based projectors have, but at the price it is sold at there is hardly anything to complain about.
A very nice feature of the 8350 is its horizontal and vertical lens shift, which allow it to displace the image approximately fifty percent in all directions, making placement easy. The 2.1 to 1 manual zoom also reduces the difficulty of finding the sweet spot for projection.
Connectivity is good, with two HDMI signals, a set of three component video jacks, an analog VGA port for computers, and composite and S-Video ports for older devices. A 12-volt trigger allows you to remotely raise or lower a compatible projector screen, and an RS-232 serial port enables controlling the projector via a computer.
In conclusion, the Epson 8350 is an amazing value choice for 1080p home theater projectors, with its fancy feature set and solid image quality. The lack of 3D is not a point for complaint given its price and the elimination of the irritating "rainbow effect," and its overall specifications plant it firmly as a competitor to any projector, even ones that are more expensive.
